Default HKS..... Out of business tomorrow?

My buddy just called NOPI in Atlanta today on some parts for me.. He gets them wholesale and the guy told him that HKS is going out of business tomorrow. He said the USA store is. That means all the parts will be coming from Japan once everyone sells what they have in stock. What is this going to do with the sale price I wonder. Should we buy quick today or pay a ungodly amount of shipping cost.

Has anyone else heard this or can clarify a little more in depth about this? I don't want to start buying from Greddy, but I will to save some bucks.

I heard this maybe two years ago, must have not happened. Hopefully the price on parts doesn't get hiked up too much.

HKS will still be availible in the USA, as motovicity is now the US master distributor. and they are only business to business.
